The “Chefs’ Table Series” is aired weekly on local access TV stations.

Airing the week of May 14:

Executive chef Tim Willis of Summer Shack visits The Chefs’ Table Series kitchen studio to show Joe Murphy and viewers how to make the Shack bouillabaisse dish. Follow along with chef Tim as he prepares this dish and make this seafood dish with his recipe below.

Craft beer pairing: Rob Costa, of the Massachusetts Beverage Alliance, pairs Summer Shack’s bouillabaisse with rising tide spinnaker, a hefeweizen-style beer. This beer works well with citrus notes, such as the lemon which is found in the bouillabaisse dish. The beer offers a clover banana-like flavor, which pairs well with the other ingredients in the dish.

Wine pairing: Bill Caruso, of Blanchard’s Wines & Spirits, pairs Domaine Houchart Cotes de Provence Rose 2012 with Summer Shack’s bouillabaisse. This wine features a number of southern French grapes. It is an aromatic wine, both sweet and tart that complements the ingredients in the bouillabaisse dish.

Chef’s tip: Steve LaCount, executive chef and co-owner of Chiara Bistro in Westwood, explains the different types of avocados that can be purchased, and how quickly and easy people can peel an avocado and remove the pit. Also, he discusses how to grow an avocado.

Healthy tip: Alex Tillotson, of Whole Foods Market in Dedham, shares her healthy tip – Lady Bugs on a Log. Place sunflower butter on celery sticks and top with cranberries. A healthy snack especially for those who have nut allergies.
